Division/Committee: [INOR] Division of Inorganic Chemistry

For decades continuous-flow processes have been leveraged by the pharmaceutical and oil and gas industries to manufacture chemical products. More recently, the availability of commercial benchtop continuous-flow systems, open dissemination of reactor design, establishment of major facilities, and integration with automation has made this technology more accessible and versatile. This symposium will disseminate recent applications and advances in continuous-flow processes in chemistry that bridges academic and industry use and motivation, and facilitates networking and collaboration. This symposium will help industrial and academic researchers interested in continuous-flow methods to learn what tools are available to initiate research in this area, build productive collaborations, and train a workforce that can shift the culture of design, discovery, and manufacturing to maintain U.S. technological advantages in chemistry. This symposium is in coordination with the 2023 Kavli Innovation Lecturer.
